All such applications are handled by Hampshire County Council, who manage this process on behalf of the school. For more information on school admissions, feel free to contact us on (01252 314884), and we can discuss your options. Alternatively, you can visit the website provided, which offers details on the application process, guidance information, and a catchment area finder.

A hard copy of this form is available by contacting the school.

Upon receipt of an in-year application, the school will aim to notify the parents of the outcome of their application in writing within 10 school days, but applicants must be notified in writing within 15 school days. Where an application is refused, there is the right to appeal. Details of how to appeal can be found below.
